Abstract
Urban squalor, which is characterised by filth, improper waste management, and social neglect, poses serious problems for cities all over the world. Public health is in danger, and residents' quality of life is compromised. However, there is hope for positive change due to environmentally friendly habits, instruction, and cutting-edge design
This study explores the underlying factors that contribute to urban squalor, such as poor waste management and civic apathy, societal influence and lack of infrastructure to maintain urban squalor. These problems are made worse by social misconduct and marginalised groups, which has an effect on both mental and physical health
Even though the issue is critical, transformation is possible. Urban planning, effective waste management, enhanced public health, involvement of the community, and the development of open spaces that support mental health are all necessary components of a comprehensive strategy.
This study is guided by the hypothesis that combining these approaches will significantly reduce urban squalor and enhance general wellbeing. With the help of innovative architecture, sustainable practises, and public outreach, it is intended to transform underutilised urban areas into thriving communities.
To be more precise on scope of work, Adharwadi dumping yard in Kalyan is considered as an ideal site to display urban filth as a network of multiple squalors. To complete all these studies various handful of steps has been taken, such as collaborating with local Ngo’s, discussing the plan of action with Indian women scientist organisation as the site is challenging because of its location, lots of interviews in different fields and taking inferences from various on-site case studies.
Such holistic approach has potential to turn urban squalor in sustainable urban bliss majorly due to the nature of the project, it allows multiple users to be a stakeholder of the project and their contributions would bring sense of belongings to them.
